Still Swooning

Back in 2011, I saw Camille Roskelley's Swoon block for the first time and fell in love. I took my time debating what fabric to use for a full-size quilt, so meanwhile I just had to jump in and give the block a go! I created my first one-block mini quilt for a giveaway in celebration of my 100th post!

Finally, in November of that same year, I had accomplished my original goal! This quilt is still a favorite and is in use often.

I don't know what got into me! Before that month was up, I'd also made a big ole 48" Scrappy Super Swoon. Whew! By now I figured I'd gotten it out of my system - at least for a while.

But then when I needed a project for a swap months later, I tweaked the pattern ever so slightly and created Pinky-Swoon. I still miss her.

All this to say what you've probably guessed by now . . . When I saw Camille was publishing her patterns in miniature, I jumped on it. Mini-Swoon to be exact. And finally, while retreating last weekend, I finally got started.

I just finished a mini swoon and quilted it with a straight diagonal pattern. Looking at your beautiful quilt pattern, I am trying to figure out how you did it. I love it. Do you draw the pattern on it first? Btw, I voted for your Pantone Orchid quilt challenge. It is my favorite of all the quilts.

ha - how fun to see them all together in one post! I've followed along through all of them but never realized there were so many. :) I think this new one is my favourite (though I do love the pink one a lot!). If it's not quite out of your system you could make me one just like this. hehe ;)
